The Michigan Humane Society removed 19 dogs from a home on Detroit's east side that rescuers said was littered with trash and dog feces.

The rescue happened at about 3 p.m. on Tuesday after the group received a call from Detroit Police notifying them of 10 dogs inside and nine dogs outside a home near Seven Mile and I-75.

“We had very underweight dogs,” said Andy Seltz, vice president of Field Services at the Michigan Humane Society, said today. “Ribs were exposed, hips were exposed. Some were dehydrated. There was exposed flesh from the repeated bites from multiple flies.”
